Francis Spring Rice, 4th Baron Monteagle of Brandon

Commander Francis Spring Rice, 4th Baron Monteagle of Brandon (1 October 1852 – 22 December 1937) was an Anglo-Irish peer.[1]

Spring Rice was the son of Hon. Stephen Edmond Spring Rice, son of Thomas Spring Rice, 1st Baron Monteagle of Brandon, and Ellen Mary Frere. He was educated at Harrow School, after which he was commissioned into the Royal Navy. He would eventually rise to the rank of Commander. He inherited his nephew's title in 1934, but never spoke or voted in the House of Lords, dying three years later.

He married Elizabeth Ann FitzGerald, the daughter of Sir Peter FitzGerald, 19th Knight of Kerry, on 28 September 1882. Following his first's wife death, he married her sister, Julia, on 11 September 1935.[2] He was succeeded by his second son, Charles, as his first son died as an infant.
